2. Pull the head harness
completely over your
head and tighten the
lower (neck) straps.
3. Tighten the lower (neck) harness straps first, by pulling
them straight back, not out. Tighten the temple straps

RESPIRATOR FIT TEST

A qualitative or quantitative fit test must be conducted for
each wearer of the respirator to determine the amount of
protection it will provide. Respirator fit tests are explained
fully in the American National Standard for Respiratory
Protection, ANSI Z88.2, which is published by the
American National Standards Institute.

Quantitative Test
If a quantitative fit test is used, a fit factor that is at least
1,000 shall be obtained before that respirator is assigned
to an individual.
Qualitative Test
If a qualitative fit test is used, only validated protocols are
acceptable. The individual must pass a test designed to
assess a fit factor of at least 1,000.
Respirators must be qualitatively or quantitatively fit test-
ed in a negative-pressure mode.
The user must perform a respirator fit test and follow
all warnings and limitations specified. Failure to follow
this warning can result in serious personal injury or
death.
Respirator fit tests are explained fully in the American
National Standard "Practices for Respiratory Protection,"
ANSI Z88.2 1980, published by the American National
Standards Institute.
Note: The user assumes all risks of death or serious bodi-
ly injury which may result if a fit test is not performed or
the respirator limitations are not followed.

FACEPIECE FIT CHECK

1. Check the inhalation valve, inhale. If you do not
receive sufficient flow of air, remove and replace the
facepiece.
2. Check for facepiece fit, hold the palm of your hand
over the inlet connection and inhale. Hold your breath
at least 10 seconds. The facepiece should collapse
and stay collapsed against your face. If it does not,
readjust the facepiece and test again. If this does not
correct the leak, do not use the facepiece.
